How can I record live TV?

You have to get the hauppauge usb device and plug it into the usb port on your wdtv live or the hub. the on the menu select the live tv option and the the hauppague (spelling?) app. When watching the live tv broadcast, select record and then whatever 15min interval up to one hour you want, or just record until you select stop. Somewhere in there you select a storage drive, either a usb drive, onbard drive(depending on model), or a NAS drive (network attached storage drive)

If you add a usb tv tuner (for example from Hauppauge), a "live tv" menu appears with simple dvr capabilities. More info is at www.gigaom.com/2012/11/13/cord-cutters-wd-tv-live-ota-dvr

upport for live TV viewing was added to the WD Live TV and the WD Live TV Hub with the latest firmware update (1.12.14). More info on that update can be found on the WD website.To watch live TV on the WD TV, users need to plug in a USV TV tuner adapter from Hauppauge. Officially, only two models are supported - but I found that the Boxee live TV dongle works as well.

Agree with Nathan M. Have not tried it personally but I've heard that solution works.

Yes. Just connect it to the same indoor or outdoor HDTV antenna that the TV is connected to. If its tuner can pick up the signal, it will record it.

Can you manually select and view the correct local channels? If the problem is just recording, how do you select a program to record? What specifically happens?

Well yeah, you can record whatever you want actually, just plug the TV signal to the capturer and voilá!

If you can connect to the output rca port of your tv tuner. Since the dvd recorder does not have a tuner it cannot record directly.

There is not tuner in it so you would need a cable box or tv connected to be able to record broadcast content.We only use is for viewing DVD's and some older VHS tapes so I am not very familiar with the recording function.It has been a very reliable unit for us.

Does anyone know how to record programs from a DVR cable box (like TIVO)? Im not sure if I need a DV cable or if it can't be done.

I heard of Ispy dvr software that can be downloaded that does well for what you ask.

No, it doesn't provide that kind of service. You can only record over-the-air shows from an antenna. There's a new model, but I believe it works the same way - its tuners only accept antenna inputs.

I have Directv but I have my recorder wires in the out plugs of my cable box. To record I change my tv to the AV selection on my tv and it will show the same programming from your tv. Make sure recorder is on. Your manual shows the plugins.

I have a similar outdoor antennae connected to my Windows 7 computer. Using Windows Media Center I can record shows or even entire series on my hard drive. One hour recording takes about 5 million bytes. It also normally records the first 15 minutes of whatever you are watching then records over it, so you can pause or back it up and continue watching a show at any time.

Record on SD Card Just put SD Card in your computer or buy Hdmi Converter ADVC HD50.

If you want to record you will need to connect the camera to a DVR (Digital video recorder) or something similar otherwise it is just live video connected to a monitor.

You need video capture software, such as Pinnace Studio (I think they are in ver. 17 now). You might also need a usb tv tuner. A tuner might come with video capture software.

Whatever you see on your TV screen, you can record. http://www.ehow.com/how_6001623_record-ota-dvd-recorder.html

Hi, I never tried recording TV programs on it, but I guess if you can find a way to feed TV signal to the DVR it will record them also, it works just fine with the cameras though.

yes we can watch one channel and record another. and we love our magnavox. so if you want to watch another program while recording, use input through tv antenna.
